Moneymaxim in the news!

Well it was a little quiet running up to Christmas on the PR front - but its not now - this week alone we have been approached by the Sunday Times, The Times, a few Travel and Home Journals and tomorrow we are on BBC Radio Berkshire talking about how to reduce Gas and Electricity charges.

Surprisingly a subject we have not being asked to talk about is mobile phone insurance - since all the shiney gadgets were delivered at Christmas we have seen a big spike in visitors finding for cheaper mobile phone insurance - but clearly money saving generally is on the agenda!

It fun, its furious, and it shows that the subjects we are looking after have a real connection with peoples hearts - if you are at a loose end tomorrow do listen in - be great to have you with us on the Andrew Peach show.

New Years Resolutions

Well my first is - to blog more!

Being busy is great, but sometimes it squeezes out the things you really get pleasure from and blogging is fun - so I am starting the New Year as I mean to go on!

Secondly its not to let the pessimists win the day - someone I know who is involved in the media was telling me that they had been approached for bad news stories - bankruptcy, home repossessions etc etc - you get the drift - because the media have decided January is going to be depressing! Well I refuse.

Thirdly its to continue our mission to make sure our customers don't get ripped off. One thing we have seen time and time again last year was businesses relying on customer loyalty to make a mint. One example - Energy companies - apparently the average profit energy companies make from a customer is about £60 a year - since mid November the average saving our customers have been making when switching has been £270 - today one saved over £600 - and some have saved more than £800 - so basically those who don't switch are heavily subsidising those who do.

Fourthly its to be really proactive in helping customers realise the potential in bills they are paying more than they need to pay for - we have saved some of our customers upwards of £1000 just by being proactive!

So here is a starter for 10 - our top five money saving tips - we have saved our customers literally hundreds of thousands of pounds last year - do call us if you fancy a chat about what we could do for you- and here are our top five ways to trim your budget in 2011
